[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 240679, member: 199791"] I was splitting the aerial cable today so I could use my OnDigital box in my bedroom without the use of my useless rabbit ears aerial, but once I had got the original downlead connected back up and tested the signal in the living room, I went back up to the splitter and touched it to grip it when attatching the bedroom cable and I got one hell of a zap (not painful but enough to cause my arm to jerk back and whack the window frame, well when it hit the frame it DID hurt!!!), so I went downstairs and unplugged the aerial cable from my oggle box and saw a small spark which is making me wonder where the electricity is coming from as there shouldn't be any current in the aerial at all!!! :confused: Other than that shock everything's all working properly and I have a nice clear picture (both analogue and digital) in my bedroom... :D [/QUOTE]
